projects that can move as controlled by the electronics, including vehicles, toy or real cars, wheelchairs, carts, quadcopters, bicycles, locks, and more
Basically, our project idea is to build a model train that levitates through magnetics (MagLev). Our project was inspired by a model train prototype developed by Launchpoint Technologies.
The brain and human body has largely uncharacterized electrical properties. These properties vary by brain area and tissue type; thus, it is important to characterize the electrical properties of a specific area for a specific purpose. This analysis can be achieved by an impedance meter, which is useful for both for both EEG recording and intracranial recording. Standard impedance meters are expensive, use too few frequencies for analysis, and are difficult to use.
Visually impaired athletes have a limited number of options for outdoor activities. The community has adaptive sports but even fewer sports in which they can participate alongside other sighted athletes. Outrigger canoe paddling is one of those options. In its most common form, crews of six athletes paddle as a team in 40 foot canoes. However, there are also many opportunities for those looking to paddle OC1 versions - canoes that only have 1 seat.
ReJoule Energy, a startup company founded by UCI alumnus Steven Chung, is to sponsor a few teams to work on topics ranging from power electronics, energy harvesting, batteries sensing and control to mobile app, IoT, and algorithms.
